Isaías Delpupo (born 31 March 2003) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Belgian club Patro Eisden.

Club career

Delpupo began playing football in his native Argentina with the youth academies of General Gelly, Rivadavia de Peyrano, Trafico de Pergamino, Provincial de Pergamino and CA El Socorro.[1] He moved to Italy at the age of 13 and joined Cagliari, where he worked his way up their youth categories.[2] On 15 June 2021, he extended his contract until June 2023.[3] On 17 June 2022, he again extended his contract with the club until June 2025.[4] He made his senior and professional debut with Cagliari as a late substitute in a 2–0 Serie B loss to Modena on 3 February 2023.[5]

On 31 July 2023, Delpupo joined Pontedera on loan.[6]

On 9 August 2024, Delpupo signed with Sint-Truiden in Belgium,[7] but was sent-off six minutes into his debut as substitute against Union Saint-Gilloise in a 0–0 draw later that month, and was not picked for a matchday squad for the next two months.

International career

Born in Argentina, Delpupo is of Italian descent and holds dual citizenship.[8] On 1 June 2022, he was called up to represent the Italy U19s.[9] A couple of weeks later, on 24 June 2022, he was called up to the Argentina U20s.[10]

Playing style

Delpupo is a left-footed, quick, technical and physical attacking midfielder. He excels in dribbling and can quickly play a pass, assisting in the transition from midfield to attack.[11]
